How to be a Renaissance Man
In the years following Freya's death and my revenge against Oor, it was a bad time for me, I stopped seeing the fun in my work. I became no more than a business man. It was a dark time for me. I kept replay the moment Freya died in my mind
I was craddling her in my arms as she died slowly. I was begging for something to save her. 'I love you Freya' I said. 'No you don't but thanks for saying' she said dying with a smile on her face.
For years I was completely alone and having no fun , that was until I bumped into Aphodite or Venus as she was know now a days. I met her as she was posing for a painting by Botticella.
'Hey Loki good to see you' she said. 'Oh hey Aphodite' I said ' Love to chat but I have to go'. I didn't want to get close to her. After Freya died I realised something, If I care about other then I'll simply be heartbroken when they die, but if i'm alone I would be heartbroken.
But she was not that easy to get rid of. 'It's actually Venus now' she said 'So what have you been doing with yourself, last I heard you were dating Freya'.I turned and tried to run off cause I didn't want to talk about Freya.
'Hey wait' she said before grabbing me and pulling me back.' What's the matter, did you and Freya break up' she asked. 'Freya's dead, she was killed in the Holy Lands and few years ago' I said nearly unable to speak with sadness.
She sensed my sadness and began to comfort me. 'It's okay' she said. After all these years i could hold in the grief any more and let it out. After hours of grieving and comforting Venus finally spoke.
Loki, you've been grieving long enough, Freya would turn over in her grave if she saw what you've become, where's the old fun loving Trickster that we all know and love' she said. That when it hit me.
She was right, I have lost sight of who I really am, I'm Loki the Trickster, if I'm not having fun then I might as well go back to Heaven. It was about time that I got back to enjoying life.
Venus and I began a very pleasant relationship. She help me get back to being a real Trickster. She became like my sensai, my Mr. Miyagi or Ms. Miyagi. She help me get back into shape.
One of the best things about our relationship was her Libido. She had more Mojo than Austin Powers. As a love god she was always horny and that suited me to a T. We spent half our waking hours in bed and the other half out of bed if you catch my driff. Our relationship was like a porno movie.
I remember the day I found fun again. Venus had found me this woman who date this artist and I tell you she was the bigger Goth than Wednesday Addams. If you asked her about a glass she say it was half empty, and worse of all she made everyone around her pessimistic to. Especially her boyfriend, some artist named Leo. Her name was Lisa.
I decide to give her exactly what she wanted. She never smiled so I made it so if she ever smiled her face would crack like a mirror. Know it took a few month for her to smile. It was long enough for Leo to paint a painting of her, what was it calling the Monning Lisa no the Mona Lisa that was the name.
It was that day that I rediscovered something I lost ,the Eye of the Tiger, I was like Rocky and Venus was my Adrienne or maybe she was Mickey either way I was back on my game and it was all thanks to her.
One of the most important days was the day I learned Lucifer Achille's Heel, a sort of fail safe that exists in case Lucifer escape and Michael died before defeating him.
I was in France during the Black Plague. Most people blame rats and their parasites for the plague that devastated Europe worse than drugs devastated Elvis's life but I knew the truth. Pestilence the Horseman reared his ugly head and infected all of Europe.
I decide to put a stop to the Plague. I caught him in Paris in a port. He was planning to infect the cargo and spread the infect to other countries.
'Hey Chicken Pox' I said' Yeah you heard me you slimely diease carrying Pony rider, I know what your doing so unless you want to end up in a pool of alcohol you hop back on your My Little Pony and take your Bubonic carrying ass back to the Underworld.
'You think I fear you Trickster, the Horsemen fear nothing, not even the Devil himself ' he said holding up his hand to show me his ring 'See this, if Lucifer every gets out and turns against us we can use are ring to put that spoiled brat back on the time out stool'.
'You might not fear the Devil, but you should fear me' I said smiling as I banished him back to Hell. In the next few years the diease died down and Europe was saved. Weird, Alexander Fleming gets rid of Smallpox and he put in the History books and I spot the Black Plague and I get nothing talk about gratitude.
Venus and I dated for most of the Rennaissance. We were all good couple, all fun and games not just in the bedroom but outside it. She was my muse, she help me get over the pain of losing Freya.
We went to see all of Shakespeare's play and I used them for inspiration for some of my Tricks. In fact sometime I would have my victims act out the plays for Venus's enjoyment. She loved Shakespeare.
I miss her , near the end of the Renaissance she ran off with her old flame Hermes. The god of thieves stole my girl. After that I wanted to leave Europe so I decide to join Colombus's crew and set off for the New World (Well not literally Columbus's crew, he was worm food long before I came to America)
